The second half of the Basic Doctrine Course at Portland Bible College, this section addresses many of the most essential truths including: who is Jesus; what was the purpose of His death, burial and resurrection; why was the Virgin birth necessary; what is Jesus doing today; how is the atonement applied; why is repentance so important; what is faith; what are false views of faith; what does eternity look like; and what does the Bible say about heaven and hell?

It's virtually impossible to experience a meaningful and thriving Christian life without understanding the fundamental beliefs of the faith. This course will help the believer better understand not only "What" of Christian faith, but also the "why".  As a result, your knowledge of God and His ways will be significantly enlarged.  This course provides a concise and systematic understanding of the importance of those beliefs. Over the years, Basic Doctrine has proven to be the course students most frequently say they have referred to and used time and time again, more than any other course. While unquestionably a demanding, the rewards that you will enjoy as a result of taking this course will last a lifetime.
